If you don’t think you’ll be buying a vacation home in 2016, you may want to reconsider. A vacation home doesn’t have to be a major investment. In fact, it can be extremely affordable if you’re considering purchasing a park model trailer, such as the 2010 Keystone Residence.
This luxurious park model RV is designed to be your home away from home, and like most park models, you can tow it easily or leave it at your favorite destination to come back and visit often.
Feels Like Home
The 2010 Keystone Residence will immediately turn into your dream vacation home. The residential-inspired design, featuring a private master bedroom entry, a work desk with chair, full closet with sliding doors, a large angle shower, washer/dryer, slide-out sofa, dining table with four chairs, residential kitchen and patio doors will make you feel at home wherever you decide to spend your down time.
The 2010 Residence 401FE Floorplan
The 2010 Keystone Residence 401FE available on our PleasureLand RV Center Budget Lot in Brainerd features a spacious layout that feels much more like home than an RV. The rear of the trailer features a master bedroom with king bed and walk-in closet, and a pass-through bathroom separates the bedroom from the remainder of the RV.
The front of the trailer is equipped with a full residential kitchen with ample counter space (and bar stools), a free-standing dinette, two lounge chairs, a sofa, an electric fireplace and plenty of cabinet storage.
Buy Your Vacation Home Today
Why wait any longer to purchase your dream vacation home? The 2010 Keystone Residence 401FE is available right here on our PleasureLand Budget Lot in Brainerd, Minn.

Whether you’ve just purchased a used RV or have been traveling in the same trusty, old RV for years, it’s likely the interior of your motorhome or travel trailer could use a few upgrades. From buying a few simple decor items to tearing out old carpeting, these RV upgrade ideas are ones that’ll give your home on wheels a fresh new look.
Revamp Your Bedroom
Your RV’s bedroom is where you relax after a long day on the road, and an outdated mattress and bedding may be cutting into your comfort. Don’t be afraid to swap your old RV mattress for one you find more comfortable. If you can’t change your mattress, try placing a memory foam mattress topper on your existing one.
Swapping musty old RV bedding for new sheets, pillows and a comforter will also make you feel like you have a brand-new bedroom, but it’ll cost you less than $200.
Upgrade Your Shower
RV showers can seem less than satisfying when you’re living life on the road. Swap the cheap shower head that came standard in your RV for a new one that will amplify your water pressure and make that cramped space feel a bit more luxurious.
Purchase new rugs, towels and decor for your bathroom, and you’ll be surprised how new it feels.
Get Rid of Old Flooring
You’re not stuck with the flooring that came standard in your RV. Removing old carpet and replacing it with new carpet or laminate flooring is easy to do, and it can completely change the way the interior of your RV feels. The small size of the interior of your RV makes it easy to find cheap “remnants” of carpet and laminate flooring that will fit snuggly into your home away from home.
Upgrade Your RV at PleasureLand
Here at the PleasureLand RV Center, our certified RV technicians are experts at helping you upgrade your RV. Stop in with your ideas or concerns, and we’ll help you turn your old RV into your dream home on wheels.
